Our lives are being made a misery by lorries thundering past our homes. The constant shaking is cracking walls, damaging pipes and even broke a boiler By JAMES MCNEILL Published: 06:48 EST, 21 February 2025 | Updated: 06:50 EST, 21 February 2025 e-mail View comments Villagers have said that their lives are misery due to lorries using their countryside road, claiming the 'constant' shaking is damaging their homes. The fed-up homeowners say their properties have been plagued with problems caused by vibrations from 'thundering' HGVs on Mortimers Lane in Hampshire.
The road connects the rolling countryside to the village of Fair Oak near Winchester and is lined with large, homes which can sell for up to £650,000. Neighbours have complained that the constant stream of traffic has led to broken boilers, damaged water pipes and even led to cars being written off. The worst-affected properties sit directly by the road and locals said that despite it having a 30mph limit, lorries speed by at up to 60mph.
Leaving home is 'nerve-racking' according to neighbours who claim they are 'taking their life their hands' when crossing the road. Now, four homeowners have joined forces and called on the Conservative-led Hampshire County Council to restrict the number of HGVs that can travel down the road. Colin and Eugenie Codrai have lived on the road for 37 years and had one of their garage destroyed when a car ploughed into their home in November 2024.
